COURSE PRESENTATION
The knee arthroplasty course aims to provide differentiated training in this orthopedic therapeutictechnique, both in the context of primary prosthesis and revision. This training is done in 2 modules, the first on primary arthroplasty and the second on revision, having a first moment of theoretical training on different aspects of the technique, on the main options available and on the main controversies, followed immediately by the component practical and cadaverous in “Cadaver Lab”. It develops in two days for the two modules, thus evolving from primary arthroplasty to revision arthroplasty, from the simplest to the most complex.
